Patent CA-2621552-A1 (CA)
Title: Brake system for a well service or drilling hoist
Inventor: NEWMAN FREDERIC M
IPC: B01F23/47
Filed: 2006-09-08
Abstract: The brake system includes a brake lever independent of, but capable of rotating about the same point as a bell crank. Upon receiving a downward force, a member extending from the lever strikes a portion of the bell crank and generates a force that cause the bell crank to rotate. Rotational action of the bell crank transfers rotational energy to an equalizer bar thorough a linkage system. The equalizer bar's rotation increases or decreases tension on brake bands that slow a tubing drum. A cylinder can activate and cause the equalizer bar to rotate, applying tension to the brake bands and slowing the drum. Rotational energy is transferred back to the bell crank through the linkage. The rotational energy is absorbed by a spring positioned between the bell crank and the brake lever, thereby reducing the amount of sudden force passed through the brake lever to an operator.

The stages A) and B) are carried out one after the other in the indirectly heated oven chamber, wherein a charge is not changed and the oven is not opened, at the stage A), a low-oxygen atmosphere, whose oxygen content is equal to or less than 6 %, is adjusted in the oven chamber by rendering it inert with the aid of a protective gas and the stage B) is carried out by introducing air or oxygen immediately after the end of a recyclable material pyrolysis or carbonisation. The incorporation of liquid or liquefied substances is controlled along with pyrolysis by means of at least one post-combustion parameter, in particular with the aid of a temperature sensor. The thermal post-combustion is used for two oven chambers, one of which operates in a pyrolysis or carbonisation mode and the other operates in the form of a combustion chamber.

Title: Ridge waveguide optical sensor incorporating a bragg grating
Inventor: MIHAILOV STEPHEN J
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 2008-08-08
Abstract: An optical sensor for sensing information relating to an analyte liquid or gas, has a a planar substrate having a refractive index n c. The planar substrate supports a ridge waveguide having an unclad top portion having a refractive index n r .

A Bragg grating inscribed in the ridge waveguide has two modes for providing information relating to both temperature and refractive index of the surrounding analyte liquid or gas. A cladding mode has a different response to the analyte when compared to a Bragg resonance response. Both modes have a same reaction to temperature, wherein said Bragg grating is formed within the unclad region of ridge waveguide, wherein n c < n r. Advantageously multiple parameters can be sensed using only a single Bragg grating.
